"Addison & Sarova Auctioneers is proud to announce 'The Last Book Sale.' This shelf-lot auction is to be held on-site in Archer City [Texas], the location made famous by McMurtry’s The Last Picture Show and the film based upon that novel. The sale of hundreds of thousands of books, housed in Booked Up Inc stores numbers 2, 3, and 4, will be held over two days: August 10-11, 2012. A week of preview will precede the sale.

Larry McMurtry will be on-hand and, more than a shelf-sale, this will be a true celebration of the book trade and a collective renewal of vows to our labor of love [sic]. Did we mention there will be music, Texas BBQ, cold beer, and warm weather?"
